“This is a first-ever worldwide survey to evaluate workforce requirements for greenhouse gas (GHG) and climate change professionals. The demand for high-level personnel in this field is dramatically increasing with new protocols, laws and regulations being developed for tracking carbon emissions at state and federal levels,” said Sequence Vice President Frank DeSafey.

The ever-growing demand for highly skilled and trained professionals is unprecedented and understanding the needs of the industry to meet this demand is critical, according to DeSafey. “If we can’t measure our greenhouse gas emissions, we can’t manage global climate change,” said Michael Gillenwater, dean of the GHG Management Institute.

As private sector market solutions have been evolving, Sequence has been on the forefront providing clients with strategic advice and personnel for programs measuring emissions, protecting the environment and evaluating climate impacts resulting from global warming according to DeSafey.

“Like Al Gore’s The Climate Project , Sequence is helping to raise the awareness of our clients about this crisis and informing them about potential solutions so that all of us, together, can preserve the climate balance on which our planet depends,” he added.

“We’re currently interviewing Nobel laureates, leading scientists, consultants, gas emissions accounting personnel and economists for clients requiring technical expertise in this evolving, innovative field. This survey will aid us in learning what workforce needs and concerns are for leading professionals in this field and will provide keen insight for the future course of our recruiting needs,” said DeSafey.
